Heated, filled, and then folded – Piada flatbreads are a local delicacy from the heart of Emilia Romagna. In this northern Italian region you will find Piada (or Piadina) being prepared and served hot by street vendors as on-the-go sandwiches and snacks. At Crosta & Mollica, we have brought this delightfully versatile and authentic street-food straight from the bakeries of Italy to the UK.
Follow the recipe below to enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean at home:

Method
- Place a Crosta & Mollica Piada in a hot dry frying pan for 1 minute on each side or put in a preheated oven at 180°C or gas mark 4 for 3 minutes.
- Whilst the Piada is warming, drain and slice a half a ball of mozzarella and tear up the slices of Parma ham.
